Hydrogen fuel cells, which touted widely as a source of pollution-free energy, not as clean as could be expected. So scientists from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. According to the researchers, the process of providing hydrogen to the cell fuel cells could make the earth cooler, more cloudy, and creating ozone hole larger in the earth's poles. Why? Because in the process of production and transportation, about 10 to 20 percent off the gas it will meet the atmosphere, it is written in a research report in journal Science.

Increasing concentrations of hydrogen gas into the air, rather two-hydrogen molecules from normal levels of 0.5 ppm (parts per million) will create more water (H2O) for hydrogen (H2) will react with Oxygen (O2). As a result the heavens the earth will be filled with more clouds.

Ozone hole biggerHydrogen fuel cells are considered as multi-use energy forms, ie, can be used for anything, ranging from household needs to be a vehicle fuel. Hydrogen and is believed to be environmentally friendly because it does not produce exhaust gases. This material has the potential to replace fossil fuels (oil and gas) which was accused of being ringleaders of air pollution and greenhouse effect due to exhaust gases covering the Earth's atmosphere.

However, computer simulations are conducted to test this theory shows that the use of hydrogen resulted stratosferis temperature dropped to 0.5 degrees Celsius, so the arrival of spring in North and South poles will be too late. In addition there is the ozone hole over the two regions will become increasingly wide, deep and lasting.

The loss of the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere create direct sunlight through the earth and will increase risk of skin cancer. As for the loss of the ozone layer, many people blame the use of chlorofluorocarbon chemicals used in refrigerators. This material has now been banned.

The gaps in the ozone layer is expected to be closed again within 20 to 50 years along with the loss of atmospheric chlorofluorocarbon. But the entry of hydrogen into the atmosphere is said to exacerbate this condition. Not healthy, hydrogen may actually aggravate the illness of this earth.
